Description
Excerpt from Early Christian Ireland
In much the same wav, amid the scholastic discus sions to which the personality and work Of St. Patrick have given rise, the only Patrick Of whose identity there can be no doubt has been lost sight Of. The Patrick who wrote those invaluable Confessions which are still in our hands may not be as striking a personality to the popular mind, or come with such professed cre dentials, as the numerous Shadowy St. Patricks who have been substituted for him. Yet he is at least a real man; and a man who, amid deep discouragements and opposition from both foes and friends, accomplished, according to his own showing, a great work. We have allowed this real St. Patrick to speak in his own words with as little addition as possible from later and more doubtful authorities.
